Maintenance
- once a year, dismantle, carefully wash and grease all the moving parts of the windlass.
- Regularly grease the supply terminals of the electric motor of the windlass and of the relay
control box.
Emergency anchoring procedure
In the event of an electrical fault, it is possible to lower the anchor manually: Put the handle in
the space provided for this to release the chain grab. Then let the chain run out using the handle
to control its speed as it runs.
The handle serves only to release the chain grab in order to lower the anchor
manually should the electric windlass break down. The handle cannot be used
to raise the anchor manually.
ADVICE-RECOMMENDATION
- Before anchoring check the depth of water, the power of the current and the nature of the
sea bed.
- Check the swinging area once the boat is at anchor.
- After each trip rinse the windlass and anchor chain or rode with fresh water.
